Smith has not lost interest in settling his differences with
Kevin
Holland.
The undefeated Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight renewed his callout after earning a unanimous decision victory over Randy Brown at UFC Vegas 123 on Oct. 31, insisting he wants Holland next.
“I know that kid is scared of me,” Smith said in his postfight interview. “He's seen what I did to Randy, and it's only going to be worse with him because, you know, there's something there.”
Smith (14-0) outwrestled Brown (20-9) over three rounds, with all three judges scoring the co-main event 30-26. He then accused Holland of avoiding a matchup.
“I do not plan on letting him survive, and I think he's going to run as much as he can to get away from me,” Smith said. “By any means, the matchmakers, if y'all get him to sign a damn contract, please, please, please, he's next on my hit list.”
Smith also had a message for the rest of the welterweight division.
“Kudos to Randy. He’s a crafty vet, but I am here to take over the division. I’m telling you, and I mean that by any means. Any, any opponent. I’m ready to run through them.”
